Boy when it rains it pours around here. Stewartsville only received 0.06″ of rain yesterday at my station but I was attending a meeting on the other end of town and I could hear the rain pounding down on the roof. Not sure how much fell there but LVI airport was under the same cell and received 0.65″ of rain.
A wave of low pressure has formed on the cold front that pushed through last night as was responsible for all the rain. Look for a chance of shower later today and this evening. The steadiest and heaviest rain will be overnight into Friday morning. We are only expecting about 1/2″ of new rain but with the ground being so saturated it won’t take much to cause problems in some areas hence the Flood Watch.
Friday afternoon the weather will greatly improve. We should be OK for Friday NIght Lights and a b-e-a-utiful Fall weekend!
…FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE TONIGHT…
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a
* Flood Watch for portions of eastern Pennsylvania, portions of northern, central and southwestern New Jersey, northern Delaware, and northeastern Maryland.

* An area of heavy rain is forecast to lift northeastward across the region tonight. Rainfall totals up to an inch or two are expected with some locally higher amounts possible.
* The heaviest of the rain is expected to fall over only a few hours. As a result, localized flooding is anticipated on roadways and in areas of poor drainage. Small streams and creeks are already running high and some minor flooding may occur.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
A Flood Watch means there is the potential for flooding based on the current forecast.
If you live in a location that is prone to flooding, please monitor the forecast through the day and be alert for possible Flood Warnings tonight.

the region late this weekend and early in the new week. With
abundant moisture out ahead of it, a prolonged period of
moderate to heavy rain will fall starting late tonight and

throughout the watch area, but there is the potential for
training of thunderstorms that could result in 5 inches or more
of rain. The grounds in southeast Pennsylvania and most of New
Jersey are quite saturated, so it will not take much for
flooding to occur.
* Excessive rainfall will lead to rapidly rising water and
flooding, particularly in urban areas and along small creeks and
streams. There is also the potential for flash flooding during
this time.

Flood Watch
335 PM EDT Wed May 16 2018 ...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT... The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a * Flood Watch for portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in Delaware, Delaware Beaches, Inland Sussex, Kent, and New Castle. In northeast Maryland, Caroline, Cecil, Kent MD, Queen Annes, and Talbot. In New Jersey, Atlantic, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Camden, Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean, Cumberland, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Southeastern Burlington, Warren, and Western Monmouth. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks, Northampton, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western Chester, and Western Montgomery. * From Thursday evening through late Friday night * Periods of light to moderate rain will continue this afternoon through tomorrow. A brief break in the rain is expected early tomorrow evening before it once again intensifies and becomes more widespread tomorrow night. Periods of moderate to heavy rain are then expected to persist into at least Friday, possibly into the weekend. General rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected the next 72 hours with the highest totals along and south of the Interstate 78 corridor. Locally higher amounts are possible across the same area as thunderstorms are expected to periodically develop. * A variety of flooding types are all possible within the Flood Watch area. First, low-lying and poor drainage flooding is the most likely type of flooding to develop. Second, flash flooding will be possible under the stronger thunderstorms. Flash flooding occurs quicker than other types flooding due to the torrential rain thunderstorms can produce in a short amount of time. Flash flooding is most likely to occur across urban areas where rainfall runoff is maximized and where small creeks and streams respond quickly. The rain has to go somewhere and eventually leads to larger streams and rivers. This is where the third type of flooding is possible. If you live across the Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins in New Jersey or the Neshaminy, Schuylkill, and Brandywine basins across Pennsylvania and Delaware, keep an eye on later forecasts. These forecasts, as well as all of our hydrologic forecasts, can be accessed via our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service website. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings.

Well we are past Groundhog Day. Either way you look at it, winter is half over. The PA rodent thinks we will have an early spring. Hopefully he’s right!
Today we will see periods of rain with a high near 60. Today will also be WINDY with some gust reaching 35-40 mph. Don’t be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder later in the day. We are expecting 1/2″ to 1″ of rain. The rain should do a number on the 5″ of remaining snow in western New Jersey. It will also add to flooding concerns. Right now as long as we get under 1.5″ of rain we should be OK. Some local streams and creeks will rise but the big rivers look to be OK.
Speaking of snow cover, the beautiful day yesterday resulted in a nice looking satellite photo of the snow cover in our area. It amazes me how in early February there is no snow on the ground in upstate NY north of NYC and in northern PA!
But will the melting snow be replenished soon? Computer models are starting to indicate that early next week will be active. The warm weather of today will be replaced with more seasonable weather along with a favorable jet stream for Western New Jersey.
I will try and keep you updated but I will be quite busy the rest of the week into early next week.
We still have 7-8″ of snow in southern section of western New Jersey. the warm weather of the last few days has allowed some of it to melt slowly chich is what we want. But Wednesday will bring about 1″ of rain to western New Jersey.
The NWS has issued a flood watch for southern portions of western New Jersey. Make sure storm drains a leaders from gutters are cleared so rain has someplace to go instead of your basement! The flood watch could be extended further north.
